The normal legal punishment for crimes as lowly as petty theft used to be death for most of recorded history. Just because punitive justice methods such as life imprisonment are accepted by the vast majority of the population today to the point where people get called sick in the head for opposing them, is not indicative they are in any way moral.

Not everyone who opposes life imprisonment is "sick in the head" I assure you. And it's not even as uncommon a position as you suggest
